R.I.P. CAPITOL 1524

[de206]

... and hello RockPaperScissors!

check out the new site!!! : www.RPSLife.com

"If you've been to the shop lately, you've probably noticed things have changed around a bit. New signage on the windows, boxes of merchandise in the front, some new faces, and for lease signs...

Ever since we took over the shop almost 8 months ago, we have been working towards a relaunch, with a new identity and now, a new location. In early Summer, we will be moving the shop to a new space in the Pike/Pine neighborhood of Capitol Hill.



With the new location, we're going to be expanding our products to include new brands and merchandise, including our own modest line. With that said, we are pleased to announce that the shop you all knew as Capitol 1524, will now and forever be known as Rock Paper Scissors.



We're thankful for all the support we've received, and can't wait to share our vision of Rock Paper Scissors with you. "

maybe a hat i can wear proudly.... love the logo btw

 

[yamakazi18]

i never really liked capitol. made 3 purchases there - 2 of which i regret.

 

[dunks206]

that hat is nice. any more colors going to be available?

 

[vicexxxisfresh]

that logo is super dope.

 

[b1lly hoyle]

That's a solid logo for a name I still am not entirely in love with.

I like RockPaperSneakers better.

Hope you guys do well...but please don't put the old Jordan apparel out on the floor!

RockPaperSneakers is corny.

Its my contention that a store that sells shoes should avoid all mention of them. This includes any 'punny' 'play on words' type namesinvolving the word sole.

RockPaperScissors is a good start imo, to rebuilding the business that was lost at Capitol, for various reasons.

There's a few different colorways and styles comin out soon.... Summer 08

New store, new location, new name, new owners = new/more customers

Very smart in distancing yourselves away from Capitol. Best of luck.

 

[theswoosh]

man the capitol discount rack is epic!!! Did yall hire someone for the opening shift yet?

 

[emmanuelabor]

is my Capitol fitted gonna go up in value now?

 

[b1lly hoyle]

Oh definitely agreed.

I'd avoid the RPS spelled out all together.

The new shop I like is 'King &Duck' in Phoenix...awesome name.

Goods and Undefeated are awesome names....probably my favorite two.

Either way -- the logo you guys have is awesome.

I agree wholeheartedly with the "punny/sole" statement.

however, and i admit i may be biased, "KICKS/HI" simply sounds nice to me.

regardless... sick logo. hope to visit soon.

Hopefully you make some good changes because that place was screamin' for a change in my mind...Everytime I went there, it was overpriced, they had nosizes of anything, and the people weren't very friendly....If some of that changes, I would think about coming back, lol...Good luck though man, hope itall works out...What new brands you talkin about jw?

 

[shugaray]

I went by the new location today and saw there was already someone waiting in line for the opening. I can't report much because the windows were covered.

 

[biggerbizness]

[big fame one]

Whats with the for lease signs in the window?

Sheep?

How about them claiming the Rainbow AM95's were exclusive to their store... and then drop everywhere (EVERYWHERE) a month later.

Oh wait, it came with a technicolor raincoat box! SMH.

How about owner dude claiming to be tight with Gentry at some party, and then later that night it's brought up in front of G and he doesn't even knowthat fool.

Oh wait... kids got nothin.

Wack store since day ONE.
